    Mark:  outstanding manager of pesticides: home and garden
    Tara H.

    I love hardware stores‼ especially the old ones that have been around a long long time for they genuinely know " what works and what doesn't". But Beisswengers comes at the top of list after 4 homes in 4 states and GREAT old hardware stores in Connecticut, Virginia, Boston and New York‼ But the reason I am giving 5 stars is because of Mark, the outstanding manager in their pesticide home garden section. He SAVED MY LIFE HOME and SANITY from the worst nightmare true infestation of FLORIDA transplanted FLEAS that my husband brought home on our poor 11-year-old eight pound Shitzu after months of doggy day care. And he forgot to give her Frontline that entire time ......... Florida fleas feed on people mice horses pets and multiply MUCH faster/ can lie dormant in their pulpa for 5 months in empty homes until vibrations from people etc wake them up. After years of marriage and 4 dogs, I have never even seen a flea and I ignorantly went to Petco after briefly studying the internet and purchased Zodiac powder which DID have methoprene ( growth inhibitor) and an adulticide but in an extremely low percentage (.025). Four weeks later after almost daily vacuuming on hands and knees plus two weekends of intense rug shampoo machine renting, I had a true infestation so terrible there was nowhere to sit and I was taking 2-3 showers a day washing hair too. And... just before their visit home, I had been very ill for 10 weeks. Out of sheer desperation I called an excellent exterminator in Florida. I spent hours educating myself on the internet and called Beisswengers after getting zero in-person help from Lowes Home Depot and Mennards. Even the manager at our exterminator ( Plunkets) was in shock when I told him," these Florida fleas BITE and feed on people"......for the Minnesota ones do not as uncontrollably. Mark answered patiently and with genuine interest and concern ALL my questions and my numerous phone calls on safety equipment sprayers respirators Face guards gloves and most of all he helped me find an excellent less powerful product than the 6 % of pyrethrin used in Florida along with the growth inhibitor. Knockout sold by Vets has phenothrin a nerve destroyer in insects, which made me nauseous, created intense headaches and is insanely expensive ( ridiculous spray cans). Mark agreed that room bombs would be ineffective. So we found the perfect product which also had a catalyst and neem oil . I have had to only spray once carefully thoroughly slowly, and the exterminator in Florida said," be patient vacuum everyday and they will be gone in 2-4 weeks". And with the cooler nights, that is finally happening after 8 long long weeks (3 weeks after spraying). Thank you thank you Mark!

    Husbo called this "the Byerly's of hardware". A tiny "gourmet Menards". It is a brand new store up the road from their old location with a wonderful, helpful staff of many. They have a huge collection of garden gnomes, fountains and bird feeders. Many Toro mowers of all sizes and prices. They fix them too. Also a paint and stain section I plan on using for my next project. What really excited my son was the Soda Shoppe section by the registers that has many different makers of root beer you can buy by the bottle. Maybe someday he'll want/need a hammer?

    See all

    It's hard to beat a local hardware store, and this place has one or two of everything, not a 200-pack like you'll find at big box stores.

Many employees have been there for years. Many are family members. They are kind. They take time to help you. They all know their plants. They know what does well in sun or shade. They know what is drought (or neglect) tolerant. They know what will take over the world (I'm looking at YOU, Mint!). You can buy beautiful hanging baskets for your mom, or you can buy the plants to fill your own pots and hanging baskets. You'll pay about the same as big box. You'll get healthy plants from well-informed growers. I have not found Dragon Wing or Whopper Begonias at big boc stores. Pletchers has them. In my opinion, they are the greatest "bang for your buck" plants around. Ask for Jerod. He's my favorite employee among other favorite empoyees.

The only items with a price tag was hanging baskets and large potted plants I asked the price of a standard 4" pot, sales person had no idea. When I complained to the manager, he said he wasn't happy about the unmarked items. Isn't the job of the manager to make sure everything is ready for the annual Open House? There were metal sign holders in each section. They were blank. I didn't buy my usual amount, because I couldn't figure out how much I was spending.

But to my surprise Bachman's was much more than that. Maybe that has always been the case, but I only realized it today having to spend some extra time there today. First of all of course they have wonderful plants and flowers. 3 distinct areas for that. One for indoor plants/bouquets, one large outdoor area for perennials I believe and one partial covered area for annuals. But looking closely I saw so many unique buys that I didn't expect to see. They had outdoor /patio garden furniture, and many furniture decor items. They have a very good selection of pillows/throws in the garden/tropical theme. Better than At Home where I went shopping for garden pillows last week. Along with bouquets, there is a chocolate section, jewelry section, and women's clothing section. If someone was wanting to pickup something for their significant other, this place has everything and more you could add you to that gift. (And also a whole variety of greeting cards. Even Mickey Mouse themed ones!) For those shopping for themselves, the women's clothing area even had a fitting room. Who would have known ?! Nice touch The gift here had many more things, kitchen gadgets, games, baby items, etc It will definitely be a place for me to shop for any gift giving times. The Fridley location here has a huge parking lot and is next to a Sam's club off of University Ave

Undestandably it is the end of the growing season, and the holiday season preparations are just beginning, but Bachman's bare shelves set an impression of a crumbling enterprise. Huge distances between displays, echoing footsteps, encourage one to find living people for assistance and conversation. As usual, the staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The items for sale in the store are unique. I have always been able to find a perfect gardener's gift when shopping at Bachmans. The plants are healthy and thriving. The sale prices on remaining garden plants were very reasonable.

I needed to attach a new license plate to the front of my car, but the old screws and holder were rusted and no longer usable. I had made two separate trips to an automotive specialty store, where I was sold two different license plate kits, assured each time that they contained "everything" I needed. They did not, as my particular car model (which I'd disclosed to them) had a uniquely-sized fitting. I then went to Frattallone's Ace Hardware in Arden Hills, with my license plate and both kits in hand. Sid asked to come out to the parking lot to see my car. He took some measurements, and I followed him back into the store where he gathered some supplies. Instead of sending me on my way with a handful of nuts and bolts, Sid grabbed a power drill and said he wanted to make sure that what he was proposing would work. It did, and he ended up retrofitting the kits and securely attaching the license plate for me. The parts cost me $3.99, and he absolutely refused to take any extra compensation for his efforts. Sid went well above and beyond the call of duty. As a result, he's created a loyal Frattallone's customer for life!

Got up to the register to pay, they ran the charges through and I was about to leave the store when I did a quick math check and determined that I didn't get a discount for my biggest item.

No sign that this was the case on either the discount flier or at the product display location in the store. Heading to Suburban Ace hardware next time.
